Scary edition of the weekly thread 👻

What have you been playing!

I’ve been playing the re4 dlc! And, on the other end of the spectrum, the original yoshis island, as I had never finished it before.

    DM’ing my first DnD campaign ever with some of my friends, all of us are new. Besides that, Cyberpunk for the second time, and Baldur’s Gate for a fourth time with a friend who just got the game.

      I’m trying to make D&D happen since playing Baldur’s Gate. Scheduling will be hard. I GMed one tabletop game of Cyberpunk 2020 about ten years ago, and I played in a short campaign of Star Wars: Edge of the Empire, so I’m not totally new to tabletop RPGs, but I’m new to D&D. I’m going to make it happen one way or another though. I’m too deep into D&D Beyond looking up spells and level up guides at this point.

        I was looking into Cyberpunk! Reading through my files I realized I got the sourcebook with the game. Ended up getting Carbon 2185 and already looking into making some homebrew systems to take it into a shadowrun esque bent. Will have to talk my guys into that one though, some of them aren’t interested in a cyberpunk run, maybe once I pitch those HBs they’ll get into it.

        I had to take up DM duties for this run and assure everyone I’d take it easy on them, so they can learn systems and all. Turns out I really like world building and planning sessions, but RPing characters is really hard for me. I got a very monotone voice and my range of accents is very limited. Making up for it with a ton of planning though. I’ll make sure to pass on my workflow to whomever ends up DMing after me.

      Do Worlds Without Number instead of DnD. Trust me.
      I also started with DnD and slowly realized it’s not a very good ttrpg.
      You’ll see when your players start sighing deeply everytime combat starts because everyone knows that this will take the whole evening.

        Hm, gonna look into it. Combat has been fun with my PCs honestly. I’ll ask for feedback once the campaign is over.
